How to Adjust the Brightness in the Control Center
The iPad Control Center is a convenient way to adjust several settings regardless of which app you have open. Here’s how to use it:
How to Adjust the Brightness in Settings
You can also adjust the iPad’s brightness through the Settings app. Here’s how:
How to Use Night Shift
The Display & Brightness setting provides access to the Night Shift feature. While Night Shift is activated, the color spectrum of the iPad shifts to limit blue light to help you get a better night’s sleep after using your iPad. From the Display & Brightness settings, select Night Shift to customize the feature. Tap From/To to specify times during which Night Shift will be active. Choose Sunset to Sunrise to make it automatic. Adjust the Color Temperature slider at the bottom to control the temperature of the light when Night Shift is on.
How to Adjust Text Size and Bold Text
The Text Size option adjusts the size of the text when an app uses Dynamic Type. It makes the type larger or smaller to compensate for diminished vision. Turning on Bold Text causes most normal text to become bold, making it easier to read.
How to Turn True Tone On and Off
If you have a recent iPad model, such as the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, you may see the option to turn True Tone on or off. True Tone is a new technology that mimics the behavior of natural light on objects by detecting ambient light and adjusting the iPad display to match it. In real life, a piece of paper might range from very white under the artificial light of a bulb to a little yellow under the sun. True Tone tries to mimic this for the iPad display.
